IV. Projects Report:
A. Beautification MSTU Update:
1. Landscape Maintenance Update: CLM's normal maintenance day is Friday. After the
recent storms they were very proactive in cleaning debris out of the streets. Staff recognized
their efforts to be so responsive. Robert from CLM updated the committee on the irrigation
leaks and repairs.
2. Marina on Bayview Street sod replacement: Staff is moving forward with the installation
of the approved materials of pavers. Staff is requesting a re-quote from paving contractors.
There was a request to have the marina put an entrance and exit sign on their fence so the
huge trucks stop backing up on the sidewalks and grass across from the marina. Staff spoke
with the owner and he said he would try to speak with the drivers of the trucks dropping off
boats to use one entrance and exit to eliminate the damage to the grass across from the
marina.
B. CRA Update: Given at the 6pm February 2nd CRA meeting. Sugden Park Pathway
feasibility study was discussed. The study was sent to Parks and Recreation Division, as
well as MSTU committee members for review and comments. Maurice reported that
the CRA Advisory Committee was in full support with moving the project forward. The
next step would be to begin the design and permitting of the pathway. Staff suggested
that there may be grant funding available. The MSTU Board was receptive to splitting

the design and permitting costs with the CRA Committee in order to move the project
forward.
C. Haldeman Creek MSTU Update: Staff updated the committee on the removal of the
debris in Haldeman Creek.
V. New Business: Bayshore Drive plant and palm replacement bids were reviewed. Three
bids were received: Hannula Landscaping, Commercial Land Maintenance and Leo, Jr.
Landscaping. Hannula Landscaping was the low bidder, while Leo, Jr. Landscaping was
disqualified for not including the costs of all the plants requested. Staff requested to
proceed with awarding the contract to Hannula Landscaping. A motion was made by
Robert Messmer, seconded by George Douglas. The motion was approved unanimously.
VI. Old Business
A. Thomasson Drive/Hamilton Avenue Streetscape Update: Staff updated the committee on
the current status of the right-of-way issue at Cirrus Pointe. RWA submitted a proposal to
redesign the streetscape improvements within the existing right of way. Chris Wright and
Keisha Westbrook were in attendance from RWA. They reviewed the proposal and discussed
right of way issues. They advised the committee that by redesigning the streetscape to be n
constructed within the existing right of way, the proposed medians would need to be
eliminated. However, this would mean that the improvements would include a stacking lane
in front of Avalon School for parents and buses in the morning and afternoon. After much
discussion it was decided that staff should meet with Cirrus Pointe to discuss the possibility
of providing needed right of way for the project before moving forward. In addition, staff
shared that the Transportation Department has not reviewed the proposal for consistency.
Staff suggested that before RWA move forward that the Transportation Department review
the proposal for appropriateness. In addition, since there were 3 members absent the
committee should wait until the next meeting to move forward. The Chairman made a motion
a motion to direct staff to meet with Cirrus Pointe and submit the RWA proposal to
Transportation for review, seconded by Robert Messmer. The motion passed unanimously.
During the meeting RWA explained that with the elimination of the medians in the
alternative right-of-way, the improvements could provide stacking lanes for the school in the
area that was proposed to be landscape medians. All the members agreed that it was a high
priority to address the congestion at the school during dismissal. Chris Wright stated that the
redesign is probably a better plan than the original design.
